We built the city of Colombo in Cities:Skylines

• colombo-skylines

  5 299 8.2 HTML

  A digital twin of the city of Colombo, Sri Lanka, implemented in Cities: Skylines, based on real data. Nearly 1:1 in terms of geography and population.

  

  Methodology here: https://github.com/team-watchdog/colombo-skylines/wiki/Intro...

  We've also tweaked many of the assumptions (traffic flow, citizen lifecycles etc) https://github.com/team-watchdog/colombo-skylines/wiki/mod-c... to get "somewhere in the vicinity" of how people actually behave - nursery school at 6 years old, high school after, then a job, maybe college, then employment and retirement at 65. Not quite accurate, of course.

  In some of the work that I was involved in years back we were using CDR (call detail records) to estimate human mobility. See: https://medium.com/@yudhanjaya/how-people-come-to-nallur-7d3...

  We're certainly not that accurate, as the broader you go with simulation, the less deep you can get to.

  A heightmap generator for Cities: Skylines

  You can download a height map file from https://terrain.party/ or https://heightmap.skydark.pl/ and start a new game with the unlimited money cheat. Then it's just a matter of placing roads, utilities, public services and zoning the rest (that's the fun part).

  🚲🚶🚌 Web-based 3D visualization of streets using A-Frame

  

  This is super impressive! I'd agree the open-source tooling isn't there yet, but it's coming in a few places. I started a 3D street visualizer but it's only at the scope of a few blocks at a time, not as large as a city area although we'd like to get there someday: https://github.com/3dstreet/3dstreet/

  There's also https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet for larger area simulation but with less visual fidelity
